I will try, at the very least, to get a dialogue going around the two APIs that Microsoft has created for the externalization of content. [Please note that I did not say that these APIs were created for the externalization of SharePoint content, as I have read and discussed enough to know better]
Currently there are a couple of models we can follow: we can simply externalize content (redirect content to a lower tier, lower cost storage device) or we can actually archive the content
In terms of information growth and the remediation of it, there were a few vendors discussing the benefits of storage management or externalization of SharePoint content, as well as archival for operational benefits, neither of which are new ideas
Obviously the active stuff can go straight into SharePoint and if you have a lot it can be externalized to reduce the burden on SQL...#sharepoint2010 #compliance #SharePointarchiving #externalization #SharePoint #archiving #storagemanagement
